Therefore, if he had not mentioned it, Han Muzi would have mentioned it too.
After giving it some thought, Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and slowly said, “I will arrange everything tomorrow; you get some rest first today.”
Tomorrow? Han Muzi nodded. “Alright. Let’s go back after we meet her tomorrow.”
It was crazy of her to suddenly leave the country and go abroad. Besides, Yan seemed to be in a bad mood even though she didn’t show any signs of it when they were on the phone last night. However, during their video call, Han Muzi noticed that her eyes were red and swollen, which showed that she might have been crying for quite some time.
As for why she had cried, anyone could easily guess the reason behind it. Therefore, it would be better for her to hurry back as soon as possible.
“Why are you so anxious to get back?” Ye Moxuan frowned. “We hardly have the chance to travel, but you want to go back just like that?”
“What else then? Would you prefer if we explore the area first?”
“Wouldn’t it be better that way?” Staring at her, his eyes became deeper without anyone knowing what was going on in his mind. After a while, the corner of his lips turned up along with his eyes. “You know what? That’d be great too. Let’s go back earlier.”
Why do I feel like he has turned into a big black wolf? All of a sudden, she remembered the things he told her before they left the country. “I want to become your legitimate man. I want to be the father of your child too.”
Sh*t! Han Muzi could not believe that she actually forgot all about these; the action of urging him to go back made her seem like she couldn’t wait for him to become her legitimate husband.
Han Muzi bit the inside of her cheeks in secret. She was the one who forgot about it, so there was nothing she could do now. However… Ye Moxuan is going to meet Little Bean soon, she anxiously thought. When he realizes that Little Bean looks exactly like him, what expression would he have on his face? Surprise? Shock? Even perhaps… joy?
Countless emotions stirred within her. However, all of these were just her imagination, and all she could do now was just to return to their country.
After staying in the hotel for the whole day, Ye Moxuan left the hotel at night. Meanwhile, Han Muzi remained in her room to talk to Yan about work via video conference using Ye Moxuan’s notebook.
Without Ye Moxuan around, she could speak freely with Yan. After they talked about work, Yan suddenly said that Little Bean wanted to see her too, and asked Han Muzi if it was convenient for her.
She gave it some thought. Ye Moxuan had left for quite some time, so he shouldn’t be back so soon. Therefore, she nodded. “Yes, please ask him to come over. However, you need to let him know beforehand that we can’t talk for too long.”
“No problem.” Yan quickly called for Little Bean. Sitting in front of the table, Han Muzi quietly looked at the screen, and a cute little face suddenly popped up in front of it. “Mommy!”
Looking at Little Bean, the corner of her red lips turned up unconsciously; her eyes and voice softened as well. “Little Bean…”
“Mommy…” The next instant, Little Bean snorted with an expression that seemed like he was trying hard to put up an unsatisfied face. “Mommy, you’re so bad! You promised not to send me away even if you are busy with work.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi was stunned for a moment before she replied to him with a laugh, “I didn’t break my promise; in fact, I didn’t send you away.”
Little Bean pouted, his bottom lips protruding out prominently. “But you went away and left me behind.”
“What do you think I should’ve done instead?” She smiled weakly, reaching out her hand to tap his forehead on the screen. Although they were separated by a cold screen, she could not hold back the urge to touch him. “Should I have taken you with me? Don’t you need to go to school? Silly child!”
“Hmph, not only did you not take me with you, you even called me silly. I’ve decided to split up with you for a day, Mommy!”
“A day? Starting from when?”
“Now!”
“Fine then, if we are splitting up now, you should leave and give your place to Aunt Yan.”
“Why?” Little Bean glared at her with a disgruntled look on his face.
Holding back her laughter, she lectured in a seemingly serious manner, “You wanted to split up with me for a day starting from now. Since this is a split up, you are not supposed to talk to me, so you cannot talk to me via video call.”
Her words made Little Bean speechless. After a moment of staring at each other through the screen, his lips suddenly flattened as he let out a cry. “Mommy, you’re mean! How can you treat me this way? You neglected me, and now you are going to ignore me.” As he cried, the little boy’s eyes turned red.
Han Muzi was holding back her laughter, but when she saw Little Bean’s red eyes, her laughter died away. Flustered, she said, “Little Bean, why are you crying? I was just kidding. Don’t be angry at me. Why would I ignore or neglect you?”
“But just now… you said… you asked me to give my place to Aunt Yan…” he said between sobs. His expression seemed like he was horribly wronged, and it made her feel awfully guilty.
“Sorry, I was just kidding; I didn’t mean to upset you. Can you forgive me? You are my only baby, and I definitely won’t ignore you.”
Her words successfully consoled him. Blinking his eyes that looked like black pearls, Little Bean gazed at her for a moment and suddenly sniffled while looking at her seriously. “Is it true?”
“Of course it is.” For fear that she would make this little boss cry again, she quickly nodded and even stuck out three fingers at him to show that she swore on it. “Do you still not believe me? I swear, it’s true.”
Little Bean snorted and folded his arms across his chest. “Since you have apologized, I will forgive you. However, don’t tease me again after this.”
Having heard that, Han Muzi smiled and looked at her child in delight. “Of course, I won’t tease you again after this.”
“Mommy, when are you coming back? Before this, you said… you’d take me out to meet Daddy…” His words stopped here. The little boy cradled his face with eagerness in his eyes.
“Uh…” Han Muzi thought for a while and then said with warm eyes, “Probably once I get back. Little Bean… you might get to see your daddy after this.”
“Really?” The little boy at the other side of the screen rubbed his hands in anticipation. “Then, can I make some requests to him?”
“Make some requests?” Han Muzi was in doubt. “What sort of requests?”
“Hmph, this is a secret which I will only let my future Daddy know. I won’t tell you.” Little Bean snorted.
Han Muzi was speechless.
As they were chatting, the door to the hotel room opened along with a creaking sound.
